When Xianyang said this, Shen Jun suddenly realized. No wonder the original owner was already dying when he met Qi Qingchuan.

But... why did the original owner say that Qi Qingchuan had no external injuries when he saw him? Shen Jun thought.

But if you think about it carefully, if Qi Qingchuan didn't use a trick to temporarily cover up the wound on his body, the blood on the snow would be easily discovered by Tan Zhi.

So, at that time... he covered up his injuries in order to hide?

Shen Jun thought that the original owner's first reaction when he saw him was to peel off its skin to warm his hands, and he felt a sudden sourness in his heart.

"Junior still has one thing I don't understand," Shen Jun couldn't help but ask after hearing what Xian Yang said.

Xianyang was still fanning himself with a leisurely look on his face. "Please speak," Xianyang said.

"Why did I take him back to the mountains to raise him during that time...but didn't Tan Zhi find Qi Qingchuan?"

Xian Yang sighed deeply upon hearing this, "Because... I and your other three masters were worried about Tan Zhi at that time, so we took him with us wherever we went to slay demons, fearing that he would go astray again."

The four of them knew very well that spiritual power that was not obtained through proper cultivation would eventually backfire. Although the demonic energy could be used by him for a short period of time, there was still no guarantee that something unexpected might happen over time. After all, humans and demons are on different paths, and there were precedents, so the four of them naturally did not dare to let Tan Zhi go on like this.

Shen Jun thought about it carefully and realized that in the original owner's memory, ever since Qingyue Mountain announced that Tan Zhi had been in seclusion for three years, the masters had become increasingly inseparable and had to do everything together. It turned out that they did this to keep an eye on Tan Zhi.

But... what they didn't know was that Tan Zhi had already known that Qi Qingchuan was picked up by Shen Jun and was raised by his side.

Because Shen Jun was picked up and brought to the mountain by Tan Zhi, Shen Jun has always had a different feeling towards Tan Zhi than towards his other masters. He is very grateful to Tan Zhi and most of the time does not dare to disobey Tan Zhi's words.

Tan Zhi had already discovered that Shen Jun had brought a fox up the mountain, so he came up with a plan. Tan Zhi also knew the origin of the fox demon. If he wanted to obtain the demon pill of the demon king's son, it would be useless unless he voluntarily gave it up.

So Tan Zhi openly and covertly instilled into the original owner some of his own worries about not being able to get a cure for the disease.

The original owner regarded Tan Zhi as his reborn parent and naturally worried about what Tan Zhi worried about. In addition, Tan Zhi accidentally left an "ancient book" in the original owner's room that said that a fox demon's magic pill could cure his illness. The original owner became more certain that Qi Qingchuan's magic pill could save his master's life.

In Shen Jun's memory, Qi Qingchuan was injured during that period. For some unknown reason, he was even a little unconscious. However, he trusted Shen Jun very much. After being rescued by him, he lay in the corner of Shen Jun's room every day.

Shen Jun asked him to hide, so he curled up in the closet and waited for Shen Jun to bring him a roast chicken or a wild rabbit when he returned to his room every day.

When Shen Jun didn't know, he tried to sneak out. Sometimes he lay at the gate and watched Shen Jun and his fellow disciples practicing martial arts. Sometimes he hid quietly beside the hot spring and watched Shen Jun bathing with a group of grown men.

At that time, Qi Qingchuan only knew that Shen Jun was very good to him, but Shen Jun seemed to treat each of his fellow disciples better than himself.

He wanted Shen Jun to be nice to him only, but Qi Qingchuan didn't know what to do to make Shen Jun be nice to him only. He would bring him delicious food every day, which was already very good. Reason told him not to ask for more, but he just couldn't control his emotions.

At that time, every night, Qi Qingchuan would want to lie on Qi Qingchuan's bed, but it was extremely cold in the mountains at that time, and Shen Jun couldn't bear to see a fox like him starving and freezing outside, so he let him climb into his bed.

After a long time, Qi Qingchuan would curl up in the quilt to warm the bed for Shen Jun before Shen Jun returned to his room.

But... every night when Shen Jun faced Qi Qingchuan, what he was thinking about was how to make him hand over the demon pill voluntarily so that he could cure his master's illness.

At that time, Shen Jun felt like there were two little people fighting in his mind. One told him that the fox had done nothing wrong, so why should it take his magic pill for no reason? The other said, but he really needed his master, so was his master not important?

Perhaps the fox was cold, so it hunched its body and burrowed into Shen Jun's arms. Shen Jun hugged the fox's warm and furry body, and the two little guys in his head almost got into a fight.

Later, whenever Shen Jun went down the mountain to exorcise demons, he would often bring Qi Qingchuan with him. One time when passing by the foot of the mountain, Shen Jun saw the fox staring at a candied haws in a store and thought that the fox wanted to eat some, so he bought one for him.

By the way, he also brought one for each of his younger fellow apprentices in the mountain. The fox ate it very happily, so Shen Jun would buy one for him every time he went down the mountain, hoping that he would eat better. If he really had to reach the stage of splitting the pill in the future, he would feel less guilty.

But Shen Jun didn’t know that this day would come so soon.

That day, Tan Zhi called him into the room and said that if he couldn't get the medicine, he would die soon, so he called Shen Jun to come and take care of his funeral arrangements.

After coming out of Tan Zhi's room, Shen Jun's steps back became a little heavy.

On one side is the master, on the other side is the fox. The scale in Shen Jun's heart made the choice without hesitation.

So one day he put some drug that would make the fox sleep in the candied haws he gave to the fox. The fox just sniffed the candied haws and ate it without hesitation.

After a period of recuperation, Qi Qingchuan was able to transform back into human form, but in front of Shen Jun he was often in fox form and rarely transformed back into human form.

But that day, Shen Jun didn’t know how Qi Qingchuan turned back into human form.

Looking at Qi Qingchuan lying defenseless on the bed, Shen Jun felt a little reluctant for a moment, but he finally drew the sword at his waist.

The moment the sword pierced Qi Qingchuan's chest, his beautiful fox eyes suddenly opened, and Qi Qingchuan just stared at Shen Jun.

In fact, Qi Qingchuan smelled the medicine in the candied haws from the beginning, but he was gambling. He was gambling that Shen Jun would not be what he thought.

But he made a wrong bet after all. Qi Qingchuan looked at Shen Jun with his deep brown eyes, and tears dripped unconsciously.

Shen Jun felt a sudden pain in his heart and slowly retracted the sword that had stabbed into his chest. However, before he could let go, Qi Qingchuan suddenly grabbed the sword.

Shen Jun looked at Qi Qingchuan, his hand trembled suddenly, he watched with blue eyes as Qi Qingchuan held the sword blade and slowly and firmly stabbed it into his chest.

Shen Jun wanted to stop but it was too late. Qi Qingchuan actually endured the severe pain and cut out his own demon pill.

The flower bud-shaped demon pill slowly flew out of Qi Qingchuan's body and finally fell into Qi Qingchuan's hands.

Qi Qingchuan didn't say anything. He just slowly let go and let his demon pill fly into Shen Jun's body.

Without the demon pill, Qi Qingchuan could no longer maintain his human form, and he slowly turned back into a fox.

In the end, the fox shed only a tear and fled away staggeringly.

As Shen Jun recalled the memory of the original owner, a sour feeling slowly arose in his heart.

Shen Jun also remembered what happened later. Tan Zhi was unable to take the demon pill out of his body. Instead, the demon pill's self-protection mechanism was triggered, and it formed a barrier inside Shen Jun's body to protect itself.

In order to prevent Tan Zhi from making another big mistake, the other three people who learned the truth planned to take Tan Zhi away temporarily and find a way to lock him up.

So he lied that they had important matters to attend to and had to go there secretly, but he didn't expect that halfway through, they had a big quarrel with Tan Zhi. Tan Zhi actually took advantage of the three people's feelings for him and secretly poisoned them and ended the lives of his three best friends with his own hands and took their cultivation for himself.

However, the cultivation of the three immortals was absorbed by him at the same time. While his power increased greatly, it also made his body difficult to accept it. Several powers that did not belong to him naturally refused to be used by him. Tan Zhi almost lost his life because of this, so Tan Zhi once again thought of taking Qi Qingchuan's demon pill.

It was inconvenient for him to show up in person, so he spread the news and asked everyone to go and attack. As long as they captured Shen Jun or killed him by other means in a state of excitement, they could obtain the demon pill belonging to Qi Qingchuan in Shen Jun's body.

Through Xianyang's description and the original owner's memories in Shen Jun's mind, he slowly pieced together the whole story.

But... this is completely contrary to the plot that 031 gave him in his mind.

Was it because of his appearance that the plot changed? Or was it because the original owner's departure caused the world to shift, which caused the plot to become chaotic and caused Qi Qingchuan, who was supposed to be evil, to not follow the predetermined trajectory?

With his mind in a mess, Shen Jun tried to call 031 for an explanation, but 031 was still out of contact.

He went over the current situation in his mind, and as if he suddenly remembered something, Shen Jun hugged Qi Qingchuan tighter in his arms, looked up at Xianyang, and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Since he is the son of the demon king, why has he been wandering around since he was young? And why can his demon core contain two contradictory spiritual energies at the same time?"

Upon hearing this, Xianyang looked up at Shen Jun, seeming a little hesitant.

"Let me make it clear first. After I say this, you are not allowed to tell Qi Qingchuan that I told you. Otherwise, he will get angry with me again and it will be very difficult to appease him." Xianyang said as he closed the folding fan in his hand.

Shen Jun listened and nodded seriously to indicate that he would not tell anyone.

Xian Yang was just about to speak when he saw the person in Shen Jun's arms slowly open his eyes.

"No...don't say that!" Qi Qingchuan's voice was so weak that it was almost blown away by the wind, but his eyes stared at Xianyang without showing any weakness.
